Description

Black holes are arguably the simplest things that exist. Their definition is very holistic. In recent years there has been a trend towards defining them "quasi-locally" using properties of trapped surfaces. This does solve a practical problem in numerical relativity, but in fact the definition remains quite non-local. (This talk is only a review talk.)
